Off to the Mediterranean
While we missed the warmth of the Caribbean this winter, we enjoyed our time at home, visiting family, and hanging...
Our anchor appears to be working again, setting on the first try!
When we were in the Caribbean, I had commented that the French boats tended to anchor very close, too close in most cases. While the captains appeared very competent, they would always try to squeeze into a space like parallel parking a car.
Well now that we are in France it is totally different, the French boats anchor way off, and do not try to squeeze into tight spaces.
So what’s the difference?
I can only assume it is that they are anchoring their personal boats and not a chartered boat. Whatever the reason, everyone has been very cautious and courteous. And as one of the only American flagged boats around, we get a lot of interest and questions.
